Boaters Education Will Be Required in 2008
Starting in 2008 boaters 20 years old and younger will be required to have a Boaters Education Card issued by the Washington State Parks Department to operate most boats. In 2009 it affects all boaters 25 and younger and more boaters will be affected as the years roll by.
To meet this Education requirement , the Bremerton Sail and Power Squadron will be offering America’s Boating Course on July 26th and 27th at Rosedale Fire Station, Gig Harbor, WA 98335. Times will be from 10:00am to 2:30pm.
The course is for all boaters. Subjects include boat handling under normal conditions, adverse conditions and emergencies; types of boats and boating terminology; required and recommended equipment; boating regulations and navigation rules; lines and knots; aids to navigation; marine radiotelephone usage; and trailer boating. Course material is suitable for those 14 and older. The workbook is $35. A $5 fee is charged for those (from the same household) sharing a book. Pre-registration is not required. The course meets the educational requirements for boating operation in all states. Boaters may receive a discount on their boat insurance upon successful completion of the class.
